The much awaited AFF Suzuki Cup is here once again with the best teams in Southeast Asia battling it out for the honour of being the top team in the region.
Vietnam as the reigning champions from the 2018 edition will be one of the favourites again with Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines and Singapore all looking to dethrone the two-time champions.
Initially scheduled to be held in 2020, the tournament was postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic and will see a new format this time around with a centralised location being chosen to house all 26 matches that will be played in the competition, with Singapore being the host country.
Ten teams have been split over two groups, with the top two sides in each group advancing to the semi-final stage.
The tournament promises to be an exciting one, with Group A looking particularly tasty while it will be rivalries renewed for Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia in Group B, having already been played in the same group during the second round of the joint 2022 World Cup/2023 Asian Cup qualification.
